8 Pet Peeves
- When the fridge door opens on the wrong side in kitchen photos or decorator shows.
- Salt on my SUV.
- Mothers that don't put warm footwear (just socks) on their baby's feet in the winter.
- Water spots on and around my sinks. I must wipe out the sink and the faucet after each use so that it is clean and shiny.
- Cords showing from lamps, TV's, and computers.
- Viagra commercials.
- The volume of TV commercials and the needing to mute the TV when they come on and "blast" you out of the room.
- The person at the stoplight turning left in front of you that finally puts their blinker on at the last moment.
Ma'dame French from British Colonial Love Affair tagged me with the latest game going around. I need to list 10 Honest Things About Me...then pass it on to 7 others.
10 Honest Things About Me
- I drink Diet Coke for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- I hate going to work. Don't get me wrong I like my job (most days) but I really am a homebody and I stay home every chance I can get.
- I wish that I could have had more children. I feel bad for Jacob because he does not have any siblings.
- I avoid highways at all cost. Thank goodness for the "avoid highways" check box on map quest.
- Cooking and baking are my thing. I do "down home" and "made from scratch" whenever possible.
- Really, I am quite shy.
- I am a big sissy, I don't venture out of my comfort zone of about a 5 mile radius,
- I never eat breakfast. That's probably why I am fat.
- I am a handbag snob. Bring on the Coach, the Dooney's, the Brighton's, the Juicy, etc.
- I always alter and modify the house plans printed in magazines and in the newspaper.
5 Addictions

Robyn, We are so much alike! Although, I don't really have a thing for the MN state fair! lol
Count me in on the Diet Coke, handbags, babies, shy, baking, breakfast and highways! I've been to your neck of the woods and the freeway systems there with all of the changes you have to make to get into town would give me major anxiety! Plus, I hate to drive over bridges and you have soooo much water there!
P.s. I'll take regular Altoids, I don't chew gum--too much dental work!
MY GOODNESS.YOU MUST BE TAGGED OUT.WHEW!...ANN
Thanks for the award and tag!! I think I will do the Christmas Spirit tag. At this point, I can't get enough Christmas. Thanks again, Sally
Hi Robyn,
Don't worry about not being able to visit my blog, I can only imagine how busy you are these days. I'm content just knowing that you are okay and enjoying life as much as you can.
Hugs to you and Jacob.

OH MY GOSH...I always thought I was the only one that altered blueprints! I swear I can't see a blueprint without my fingers shaking and having to grab the nearest pencil or pen. Luckily in my job I get to do it all the time without people thinking I'm a freak. I used to go buy those house plan magazines just so I could "improve" on all the layouts!
I have an award for you! : )
Wow girl you need a trophy for all that! Wow that was some great info girl! But the viagra commercials???? Girl??? lol lol Have a great weekend sweetie!
There are many things we have in common! But, this is one thing that is different: I eat breakfast every day ... and I'm fat! Go figure!
I loved reading your tags, thank you for passing it on, I'll have to try to get it done this week :).
Enjoyed reading and chuckling at all of your tag items. I know what you mean about being sound blasted by TV commercials. And viagra, please stop!!
